Eagles Ready for CAA Championships

EMU placed fourth at the CAA Championships in 2015
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Coming off of the best finish in program history at last season's race, the Eastern Michigan University rowing squad will be one-of-six teams fighting for the 2016 Colonial Athletic Association Rowing Championship Sunday, May 15, at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J.
EMU, Delaware, Drexel, and CAA-newcomer Villanova are all in search of their first conference titles, while 2015 CAA Champion Northeastern has claimed the title five times, and Buffalo and Boston have each been crowned champions once.
"The team is really excited for the CAA Championship," Head Coach Kemp Savage said. "We have a lot of depth in all three boats and a very young team with a lot to prove. They have been getting faster all year and I think we have the right line-ups with a good mix of fast freshmen and experienced upperclassmen in each boat. This is the big race and they are ready to go fast. "
The Eagles competed in their first ever CAA Championships in the 2013 season, tying for fifth with Delaware. EMU placed fifth in the Varsity 4 and Second Varsity 8 races, while finishing sixth in the Varsity 8 race. Boston earned the title with 32 points, defeating back-to-back champion Northeastern. KC Anderson was the lone Eagle to grab all-conference honors, as she was named to the All-CAA Team following the event.
Last season, the Eagles notched a program-best 17 points en route to a fourth-place finish. The Green and White bested fifth-place Delaware by two points behind All-CAA honorees Krista Burdick and Emily Kent. The duo of all-conference selections marked the most in program history.
Due to high winds anticipated for Sunday, the schedule for the CAA Championship has been altered. The Varsity 8 race is now scheduled for 6:00 a.m. followed by the Second Varsity 8 at 6:07 a.m. and the Varsity 4 at 6:14 a.m. Conditions permitting, the Third Varsity 8 will be held at 6:42 a.m. The finishes will be streamed live via CAA.tv while live results will be available.
